This One
Whitecross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know just what I need
I'm feeling lazy or just tired of everything
The days go by so fast that
I'm spinning crazy
I just wanna run away

This heart of mine is breakin'
It's time to see if I can
I got to break away
Each time I try to find out
Just what it takes to fill this
Emptiness inside

I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay
I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history

I sometimes wonder if I could ever point
Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/whitecross/
The way to someone else in need
If there's a place of shelter
A place of paradise for all eternity

This one man left all heaven's glory for you
This one man came and died but rose again
This one man will soon come again

I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay




I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history

I'm feeling lazy or just tired of everything
I am either being unproductive or drained of energy due to all aspects of life


The days go by so fast that
Time moves quickly, to the point where


I'm spinning crazy
I am losing my balance and cannot think straight


I just wanna run away
I desire to escape from my current situation


This heart of mine is breakin'
My emotions are getting the best of me, and I feel like I am falling apart


It's time to see if I can
I must explore if I am able to improve my life


I got to break away

This single man renounced his heavenly status for your sake

This single man perished, but then revived


This one man will soon come again
This single man will return before long
